Now in his 30s and married with child, Buddy shaves his head, dons an eyepatch and buys the local dump - because what better place to raise a toddler? Peter Bagge's iconic character is a generation-defining slacker and perhaps the greatest comics character of his era. Featuring stories originally published in the Hate Annual series as well as an all-new 20-page conclusion to the story arc, this book marks the first new book of Buddy stories since the classicsBuddy Does Seattle(2005) and Buddy Does Jersey(2007).

By: Peter Bagge These legendary stories, from the classic first fifteen issues of Bagge's Hate comic, are a defining icon of Seattle's early 1990s culture (the Seattle Weekly has written, "20 years from now, when people wonder what it was like to be young in 1990s Seattle, the only record we'll have is Hate."), as well as Generation X in general (as seen in such films as Kids and Pecker). This is the first time these hilarious stories, starring the hapless Buddy Bradley and his cast of loser cohorts, have ever been available under one cover, and never have they been available at such a low price (it would have cost at least three times as much to read all of these classic stories in any previous editions). Bagge's riotous tales of the early 1990s subculture are more hilarious now than ever, find out why he has been praised by R. Crumb, Matt Groening, John Kricfalusi, Publishers Weekly, Entertainment Weekly and many more. Comedy genius.

Peter Bagge has proven to be one of the great figures in American comics and comedy over the past quarter century. It all began with Neat Stuff that ran from 1985 to 1989. Much like Fantagraphics acclaimed edition of Daniel Clowes's The Complete Eightball, Neat Stuff collects a legendary comic book series in a deluxe, two-volume slipcased set featuring new artwork and annotations by the author - the definitive edition of truly classic material. Two-volume hardcover boxed set. B&W with 32 pages color.

Peter Bagge returns with a biography of another fascinating twentieth-century trailblazer: the writer, feminist, war correspondent, and libertarian Rose Wilder Lane. Credo is a fast-paced, charming, informative look at a founder of the American libertarian movement and a champion of her mother, Laura Ingalls Wilder, in bringing the classic Little House on the Prairie seriesto the American public. Bagge's portrait of Lane is heartfelt and affectionate, probing into the personal roots of her rugged individualism.

Peter Bagge takes on the erosion of our civil liberties, the Iraq war, art and entertainment, the homeless, the drug war, and whether citizens should be allowed to own bazookas in this hilarious and provocative collection of independent-minded satirical strips from the pages of Reason magazine. No sacred cow on either side of the political spectrum is left standing in this new definitive hardcover edition, which adds over 30 new pages to the long sold-out first paperback edition.

Through Bagge's skilled cartooning, he turns what could be a rote biography into a bold and dazzling graphic novel, creating a story as brilliant as the life itself. Hurston challenged the norms of what was expected of an African American woman in early 20th century society. She arrived in NYC at the height of the Harlem Renaissance, and went on to become a noted folklorist and critically acclaimed novelist, including her most provocative work Their Eyes Were Watching God. With admiration and respect, Bagge reconstructs her vivid life in resounding full-color.

Over the past 20 years, as Peter Bagge worked on his Buddy Bradley stories and other graphic novels, he also cranked out dozens of shorter stories, which are now collected here. Included are one-off gags and short stories as well as a series of Bagge-written stories drawn by other cartoonists, such as Daniel Clowes, Adrian Tomine, R. Crumb, Johnny Ryan, the Hernandez Brothers and Danny Hellman plus the hilarious Kool-Aid Man written by Alan Moore and drawn by Bagge. This collection shows Bagge at his most free-wheeling and craziest... 50 times over. [(W) Peter Bagge]

If you could relive major events in your life, would you take a stab at making things better-and would your best attempts only make things worse? Or would you use your second chance to put your most twisted, perverted fantasies in motion? These are questions washed up actor and comedian Guy Krause asks himself after he signs up to be the main research subject for a virtual reality experiment! This new hardcover graphic novel from Harvey Award-winning writer/artist Peter Bagge-creator of Hate and Apocalypse Nerd-collects the hilarious, offbeat Reset comic-book series in its entirety. [(W/A/CA) Peter Bagge]

Peter Bagge's Sweatshop ingeniously incorporates the visual styles of cartoonist guest stars like Stephen DeStefano (Popeye) and Johnny Ryan (Prison Pit). Mel Bowling is the unhappy creator of a very bad daily comic strip. He spends most of his time listening to Rush Limbaugh and coming up with catchphrases to merchandise, while his sweatshop of studio assistants grind out all the hard work. Originally published by DC Comics in 2003, this is one of Bagge's best and most undervalued works.

Peter Bagge's Woman Rebel: The Margaret Sanger Story is a dazzling and accessible biography of the social and political maverick, jam-packed with fact and fun. Bagge presents the life of the birth-control activist, educator, nurse, mother, and protofeminist from her birth in the late 19th-century to her death after the invention of the birth control pill. Balancing humor and respect, Bagge makes Sanger whole and human, showing how her flaws fueled her fiery activism just as much as her compassionate nature did. Sanger's life takes on a whole new vivacity as Bagge creates a fast-paced portrait of a trailblazer whose legacy as the founder of Planned Parenthood is still incredibly relevant, important, and inspiring.

About Westfield Comics

We at Westfield Comics have been selling comic books through the mail for a very long time. Our comic book mail order service started in 1979 which, as a frame of reference, was the same year that Sony debuted the technologically-astounding Walkman. (Just imagine: you could carry about 10 songs in your pocket - if you had an absolutely gigantic pocket, that is.) Anyway, we originally sold golden-age comic books but, over time, began to have so many requests for new comics that our founder, Sherill Anthony, made the move toward selling current issues by Marvel Comics, DC Comics, Dark Horse Comics and many other comic book publishers through the mail. We soon had our paper order form and our catalog (both of which continue to this very day) and became a virtual comic shop. In 1996, we began to have a presence on this newfangled thing called "the Internet" and now, over 30 years later, have become the comics industry's premier mail order comic book service. We value your comic books and other collectibles, we carefully pack your shipments of comic books and other collectibles, and we continue to provide an easy way to order, be it on the Web or our paper order form. We continue to offer Marvel Comics, DC Comics, and Dark Horse Comics but are proud to offer Dynamite Entertainment, Image Comics, and Boom! Studios, as well as most of the other small press publishers. We want you to have a mail order store you can trust to get your fix for Justice League, Batman, Avengers, X-Men, Spider-Man, and all your other comic book heroes and heroines. And we want you to have a good time getting it. Trust us - our mail order subscription service has been around so long for a good reason.
